Antoine,

        There are actually two steps in turning off frame-relay
inverse-arp.

No frame-relay inverse-arp <--- do not request inarp of other end of
cloud
No arp frame-relay <--- do not respond to any inarp request

Remember to turn it off on both your main interface and multipoint
sub-interfaces.
